&lt;p&gt;This is to Certify that I have been intimately acquainted with D Alph. Milner since he was a boy _  I knew him well while a student in our schools and afterwards as a student and practioner of Medicine, and during this long acquaintance.  his good moral Character, his industry and intelligence have been to Me the sure guarantee of ultimate Success.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;  I am satisfied that Dr Milner will neither ask or accept any professional position in the Army that he Cannot fill with honor to himself and satisfactorily to his friends and patrons

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I learn that there is a vacancy in the 45th Regt Ills Volunteers and that the appointment rests with you - as the 45th or Lead Mine Regt was mostly raised here in this &amp;amp; adjoining Counties it would seem only reasonable that when a man of capacity, patriotism and unflinching integrity is pressed for the place (by his friends, for he is far too modest himself to apply) that he should receive the appointment; you will receive a statement of what many of our most prominent &amp;amp; influential citizens think of him -  I am well acquainted with Mr Spensely's father as also his son John - whom we desire to see appointed 2d Lieut 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You would add much to your own reputation by yielding to the desires of the petitioners in selecting Mr Spensely for the situation here indicated

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Ricd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir. I presume upon our acquaintence so far as to ask a favor. To be brief, the Rev W. K. Talbot (my father-in-law) chaplain in Hospital at Beaufort S. C. is over 64 years of age - seperated from his freinds - but in good health. We want to get him transferred to Hospital farther north. Will you write a line to the Adjt Genl at Washington in our behalf. So much for business.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I regret to say our prospects are not very bright politically in Old Fulten. The Cops, can do far more with Col Oakes and Capt Westlake than we can. Two of our officers have been shot while enforcing the draft, and
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we had hoped that the authorities would be sufficiently aroused to make an effort for he arrest of the perpetrators of the deed, and also the draft [disenters?]. But our Cops have bargained with the officers, that no soldiers shall be sent into the county untill after the election - which answers their (the cop's) purposes.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Missouri refugees, draft skedadlers, and any one in fact will vote - Union men are disgusted and disheartened.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the third time the Cops have wooled our Provost Marshal.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there no remedy? Must the Govt - the United States Government, be defied by a set of cut throats in this County, and fear to cross the Illinois River, untill they get permission of the Copperheads of Fulton County? Is it not very humiliating to loyal men?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The arrangement made was this.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The troops to come to Havana, Mason County and remain there. - if the Cops could not deliver dft notices, then the soldiers to assist, - drafted men to report on Thursday Nov 10. If they do not report at that time, then the Provost Marshal to go on in his own way. -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What think you of it?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J W Proctor
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Father in law Rev. W K Talbot, Chaplain in Hospital at Beaufort SC. is 64 years old away from friends &amp;amp; in poor health. Will Govr. apply to Ad Genl. to have him transfered to Northern Hospital.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Ricd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir. I presume upon our acquaintence so far as to ask a favor. To be brief, the Rev W. K. Talbot (my father-in-law) chaplain in Hospital at Beaufort S. C. is over 64 years of age - seperated from his freinds - but in good health. We want to get him transferred to Hospital farther north. Will you write a line to the Adjt Genl at Washington in our behalf. So much for business.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I regret to say our prospects are not very bright politically in Old Fulten. The Cops, can do far more with Col Oakes and Capt Westlake than we can. Two of our officers have been shot while enforcing the draft, and
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we had hoped that the authorities would be sufficiently aroused to make an effort for he arrest of the perpetrators of the deed, and also the draft [disenters?]. But our Cops have bargained with the officers, that no soldiers shall be sent into the county untill after the election - which answers their (the cop's) purposes.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Missouri refugees, draft skedadlers, and any one in fact will vote - Union men are disgusted and disheartened.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the third time the Cops have wooled our Provost Marshal.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there no remedy? Must the Govt - the United States Government, be defied by a set of cut throats in this County, and fear to cross the Illinois River, untill they get permission of the Copperheads of Fulton County? Is it not very humiliating to loyal men?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The arrangement made was this.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The troops to come to Havana, Mason County and remain there. - if the Cops could not deliver dft notices, then the soldiers to assist, - drafted men to report on Thursday Nov 10. If they do not report at that time, then the Provost Marshal to go on in his own way. -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What think you of it?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J W Proctor
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Father in law Rev. W K Talbot, Chaplain in Hospital at Beaufort SC. is 64 years old away from friends &amp;amp; in poor health. Will Govr. apply to Ad Genl. to have him transfered to Northern Hospital.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you be so kind as to inform me if there has been a man died in your state by the name of Rowland Gardner formally of North Kingston R I. There is a rumor of his death and that he was possessed of a large amount of property and died without heirs, Now We think that there is some mistery about it As there was a man by that name went from North Kingston a number 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; of years ago and was of a family of ten Children Now one of the brothers Children has become immensely rich within a short time, and the other heirs thinks that he might have been on to Illinois and settled up the affair privately, we do not know the town or County but thought that if there was such a man died and left a million or more of property in your State that you could probably give us some information about it weather it had been settled by a man by the name of  Gardner Now if you can find out any clue to what I have stated I hope you will and 
&lt;hr /&gt; let us know, and there will be some one sent on to investigate the subject,  Please write on the receipt of this and Oblige the heirs
&lt;p&gt;James A Capron

                <text>&lt;p&gt;East Greenwich the 1st November 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you be so kind as to inform me if there has been a man died in your state by the name of Rowland Gardner formally of North Kingston R I. There is a rumor of his death and that he was possessed of a large amount of property and died without heirs, Now We think that there is some mistery about it As there was a man by that name went from North Kingston a number 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; of years ago and was of a family of ten Children Now one of the brothers Children has become immensely rich within a short time, and the other heirs thinks that he might have been on to Illinois and settled up the affair privately, we do not know the town or County but thought that if there was such a man died and left a million or more of property in your State that you could probably give us some information about it weather it had been settled by a man by the name of  Gardner Now if you can find out any clue to what I have stated I hope you will and 
&lt;hr /&gt; let us know, and there will be some one sent on to investigate the subject,  Please write on the receipt of this and Oblige the heirs
&lt;p&gt;James A Capron
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;per J C Nason 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;East Greenwich. Nov 1st 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants to know if a man by the name of Rowland Gardner has died in this State.

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Colona Station Henry Co. Ills. Nov. 1st/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excelency Gov. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir: on Monday last I mailed from Moline to the engineer in Chief at Springfield a Requisition with bond &amp;amp;c for equipments for a military company organized in Western Henry Co. under the Militia law. As a Volunteer Infantry Company. A few weeks since when in Springfield I stated the necessity of the organization &amp;amp; arming of such a company at this point, but neglected repeating it when I sent the requisition.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will here repeat breifly some of the reasons why I urgently request the arming of this company as soon as possible. 1st. Every man in the Company is strictly Loyal. 2d Joining Western in Rock Island County, in Coal Valley Township is an armed organization of Traitors headed by B. G. Wright. Also joining us on the North is the only disloyal township in Henry Co. and in it Jacob Sharp a justice of the Peace, has made his boasts that he has an Hundred men armed and ready to wipe out us "Lincoln Usurpers". 3d Hundreds of the Prisoners from Rock Island who have taken the oath &amp;amp; enlisted in our service, but have been rejected on account of Physical disability
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;are scattered among our farmers. They are all McClellen men, and claim the right to vote we deny it for altho they have resided in our state a year yet it was mostly a forced residence, they having been here voluntarily only since taking the oath.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If we are unprepared we may have trouble from refusing them the priveledge of voting - it has been threatened.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P. L. Cable one of the richest and most influential Traitors in Rock Island addressed a company of about fifty of those discharged prisoners yesterday advising them to hire out only to democrats as they were their friends &amp;amp;c. I might say more but it is not necessary, you will understand our case. We wish to be prepared in time to prevent trouble.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would have come down instead of writing but am working for Abe &amp;amp; Andy &amp;amp; supposed it not to be absolutely necessary for me to come.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Put down Henry for 1500 majority &amp;amp; Rock Island for 500.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Muster roll &amp;amp;c I sent to Gen'l Fuller. If it is necessary for me to come down in order to procure the arms, a line to me at Colona, if you will send it, &amp;amp; I will come down at once.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours W. W. Warner

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir, allow me to ask a favor of you in behalf of the people of Cass Co and humanity throughout the World - It is that you use your influence in geting furloughs for our Union Drafted Soldiers at Camp Buttler - Almost the last man from the County that answered the notice, or went as substitute were true Union men, the Cops ether runing away or hireing substitutes that were Union or non voters. From this precinct all that that have answered or gone as substitutes are such as are with us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They can be vouched for by Union men - Their names are
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chas Boyd - Andrew Gill - Henry Gill 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H.J.C. Arthur - Collumbus Bridgman &amp;amp; substitues of John Japles &amp;amp; William Ater - Most all of which are Union Leaguers. they will likely know all
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the ballance of the Union voters from Cass - Now if you can use your influence for us here and the great cause in general it will be remembered with gratitude - I have no selfish motives as I am runing for no office but ask for the sake of suffering humanity generaly &amp;amp; Cass  Co particularly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours in haste

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir, allow me to ask a favor of you in behalf of the people of Cass Co and humanity throughout the World - It is that you use your influence in geting furloughs for our Union Drafted Soldiers at Camp Buttler - Almost the last man from the County that answered the notice, or went as substitute were true Union men, the Cops ether runing away or hireing substitutes that were Union or non voters. From this precinct all that that have answered or gone as substitutes are such as are with us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They can be vouched for by Union men - Their names are
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chas Boyd - Andrew Gill - Henry Gill 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H.J.C. Arthur - Collumbus Bridgman &amp;amp; substitues of John Japles &amp;amp; William Ater - Most all of which are Union Leaguers. they will likely know all
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the ballance of the Union voters from Cass - Now if you can use your influence for us here and the great cause in general it will be remembered with gratitude - I have no selfish motives as I am runing for no office but ask for the sake of suffering humanity generaly &amp;amp; Cass  Co particularly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours in haste
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S. S. Allard for Union men throughout the County
